Where to buy a quality used/recondition bike engine?
Following on from my engine seizing/oil problems I'm now in need of a replacement engine - see
thread...http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=44737
For reasons of simplicity and cost i'm going for a straight replacement CBR1000 engine. Where would be the best place to source such an
engine? Rather than just getting a basic engine with no history, I would be willing pay more for an overhauled or reconditioned one.
Any ideas?

Id think you'll struggle to get one ready reconditioned as there aren't any suppliers Ive heard of that would supply a CBR1000 like that
off the shelf, probably best to get a scrapper engine and then pay someone like Andy Bates (AB Performance) to rebuild it for you, but if going that
route you might as well look to see if your current engine is suitable for reconditioning.

If you get the engine out now, it should be some summer left when it is back in the car again...
